No Turning Back!

For the last month, I have been considering signing up for a 5k.  I have been going back and forth quite a bit. As some of you may already know, I don't particularly like to run, but I thought the training program might help to get me in better shape.  I figured it would also help me curb some of my bad eating habits.  If I have to run over three miles, I am going to want to start eating better and shed some unwanted pounds.

A few weeks ago I started a 5k training program, even though I was still unsure if I'd actually sign up for one. It has been going fairly well so yesterday I finally got up the courage to register for my first 5k.

At the end of the registration, up pops a box that says something to the effect of, "do you want to share with your friends on Facebook?" I cannot tell you how long that box stayed up on my computer!  I kept thinking...well if I don't share, then I don't HAVE to do it, right? I'll just eat the registration fee.  No! I can't do that, can I? Hmmm...

In the end, I decided to share it on Facebook. Why? To keep myself accountable, of course. Now I have to do it. Now I have to train more seriously. Now I have to change the way I eat. (No more pie before running!) And now I have friends and family to encourage me and keep me motivated!

No turning back now!
